...four research groups are headed by Elso S. Barghoorn, professor of Botany, Edward L. Fireman, lecturer on Astronomy, Clifford Frondel, professor of Minerology, and John A. Wood, associate of the Harvard College Observatory...
...scientists, Clifford Frondel and Elso Barghoorn of Harvard Hurley, Klaus Biemann and of Harvard Hurley, Klaus Biemann and Gene Simmons of M.I.T. and Dr. John Wood of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, were chosen on the basis of proposals submitted by them to NASA and judged by a team of experts.

When Siegel saw a photograph of Kakabekia, he exclaimed: "I've seen that thing before." Indeed, some specimens of Barghoorn's fossil and Siegel's living organism were remarkably similar. "When photographs of the two were compared," says Karen Roberts, one of Siegel...
